--- Quote from: Golbez on January 08, 2020, 10:10:35 PM ---Terraria run was disappointing. Badger tried hard enough but any runner should prepare for a worse case scenario. I would love to see him back for a non-seeded glitchless run, even if it is just until wall of flesh.
For the runs I watched, it feels like estimated time was way shorter compared to the runs in years before.

Yeah the estimates do seem a lot less lenient this year. Also; the delays have basically made it so most of what I could see today was the FF8 9-hour run.
Which managed to come in 15 mins over time, despite apparently having a pretty good run? A decent example of the estimates being pushed lower this year. Estimates according to GDQ guidelines should be 'In 99% of cases you come under it', but it certainly feels like they've been pushed to maybe 80% of the time.
Edit: As awesome as the run of Mushihime-sama Futari is; it's a SHMUP autoscroller; the commentators are treating it like a scorerun; and the estimate is blatantly wrong; [35 min and at 40 and still going] How do you go 5+ mins over a realistic 'estimate' in a autoscroller. Answer: It was probably submitted under false pretense for the amount of time.
Kinda annoying. As great as the gameplay is this absolutely is not a Speedrun and shouldn't be here.
It's like saying you can really speedrun Touhou. You can do it a *little* faster maybe, but not much.

Oh boy, Animorphs is up next.
For doing 125% (there's apparently a dev code for an Ax-based mission), just being two and a half minutes over estimate is actually pretty amazing.
I really should try to get vacation days for next SGDQ. I've missed so many good runs to work and transit and work and sleep and work.
Golbez:
The video's should appear on YouTube in a few days. I will probably miss Luna Nights live unless the schedule gets more out of whack.
Tamer Anode/Cathode:
The MM3DOS run was even better than I was hoping for because I entirely forgot about the CGA mode incentive
Kilgamayan:
What a fantastic marathon! See you all in June.
